  • Received an HR strap from @juanito in the post the other day (cheers!).
    Interesting to see the difference between wrist and chest based hr.
    The lower avg HR was on a hard effort 5km recorded by wrist HR, but the higher avg HR was from tonight’s moderate 5km.

    Generally it seems like wrist HR is ok for longer stuff, but for higher intensity stuff it’s often way off. When I was using it to record kettlebell workouts my heart was going mental but the watch was saying my HR was under 100 bpm.

    /csb etc

    Yep, exactly what I've found

    I've found it really sensitive to wrist angle too - cycling with hand on the hoods for example would give me bad readings, but running would be fine.
